Thanks Stephen, I just learned that. But still I don't know why there is a different (correct) behavior when the main module is compiled. As a work-around I put this on top of my main script: import py_compile py_compile.compile(__file__) Still I appreciate if someone could explain me why. br Marco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
